What would you consider a good beginner salamander or newt. I dont have one yet but I plan on having a Tiger Salamader and I was wondering about good beginner newts.
Sadly, Cynops orientalis morphs are on the harder side, and are not a good begginer option.
The WC adults are also hardly advisable because although some do very well, others die shortly after purchase.
I believe this must be true as the pet store where we purchased our Chinese FBNs claim only two buyers still have living animals, us being one of them. As I've said, I live in S. Florida and it's hot all year long, so I wonder if they just don't realize the animals need cooler temps or if they were just unhealthy WC animals to begin with and we got lucky with our pair.
